Immobilizer Indicator Lamp Remains On After Engine Start; Dtc P1614: Transponder Response Error - Suzuki GRAND VITARA Owner's Manual

Immobilizer Indicator Lamp Remains ON after Engine Start

Wiring Diagram
Refer to "Immobilizer Control System Wiring Circuit Diagram: ".
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM transmits the indication ON signal to the combination meter to turn ON the
immobilizer indicator lamp in case that there is not any problem with the immobilizer control system. Then, the
combination meter turns ON the lamp. When the engine is started up, ECM transmits the indication OFF signal to the
combination meter to turn OFF the lamp. Then, the combination meter turns OFF the immobilizer indicator lamp.
However, in case that there is some trouble with the immobilizer control system, the immobilizer indicator lamp flashes
ON and OFF when the ignition switch is turned ON.
Troubleshooting
Step
1 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) check
1) Start engine.
2) Check if any DTC is detected by ECM referring to
"Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Check: ".
Is any DTC detected?
2 CAN communication wire circuits check
1) Check CAN communication wire circuits between
combination meter and ECM referring to "DTC P1674:
CAN Communication (Bus Off Error): in Section 1A".
Are wire circuits in good condition?

DTC P1614: Transponder Response Error

Detecting Condition and Trouble Area
Detecting Condition
Transponder code in the transponder built in the ignition
key cannot be read through immobilizer control module
(ICM).
Troubleshooting
Step
1 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) confirmation
1) Clear DTC(s) referring to "Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) Clearance: ".
2) Turn the ignition switch to OFF position.
3) Check if any DTC is detected referring to "Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) Check: ".
Is DTC P1614 still detected?
2 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) check
1) Check if any DTC other than P1614 is detected referring
